Description

NIS map ``publickey.byname''. The sources and their lookup order are specified in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file. See nsswitch.conf(4).

getsecretkey() has an extra argument, passwd, which is used to decrypt the
encrypted secret key stored in the database.

Return Values

Both routines return 1 if they are successful in finding the key.
Otherwise, the routines return 0. The keys are returned as null-terminated, hexadecimal
strings. If the password supplied to getsecretkey() fails to decrypt the secret key,
the routine will return 1 but the secretkey [0] will be set
to NULL.
